Answer 1

Open up control panel and then select Power Options.  Take a look at the choose what the power buttons do...Sleep? Hibernate? Shut-down?

Set this choice to the behavior you want to experience on your laptop.

You can also look at the Choose what closing the lid does.

Answer 2

go into your control panel to your users icon.  Make sure you are logged on as the administrator.  You can delete your password at your start up from there.  Also in the control panel go to the personalize icon and you can personalize your setting for what you want to power button to do when you push and also what happens when u close the lid.  

I have mine set at when i push the power button it shuts down and when i close the lid i have it go to sleep

i think your laptop is going into stand-by..do you use the power button for turning off?? if yes then try shutting it off from the start menu
